Escape velocity is what a moving body has to achieve in order not to be pulled back down to the planet. For Earth it is about 7 miles per second.

What is the difference between escape velocity and orbital velocity?
Escape velocity is the velocity that an object needs in order to reach infinite distance, wherein the force will equal to zero. Orbital velocity is the velocity of an object so it can stay in orbit.
Is escape velocity bigger than orbital velocity?
Yes.
Difference between probes and satellites regarding orbital and escape velocity?
a probe need to travel escape velocity while a satellite travel orbital velocity.
Which physicist discovered the escape velocity of an object?
Escape velocity is easily calculated from Newton's laws of motion and universal gravitation.
What does inertia mean in science term?
state of an object mass times velocity.

Does every planet have an escape velocity?
"Escape velocity" is defined as the velocity required in order to guarantee that the object will not fall back under the influence of the planet's gravitational attraction. If it's possible to escape from a planet's gravitational attraction, then an escape velocity can be defined and calculated.
